"...Are you Zoey from the Severed Stars Guild?"
The question came from out of nowhere and unexpectedly. Zoey had been lingering outside the café beside the Guild when a voice called out to her, making her pause.
When she turned her head, her face stiffened slightly as she was greeted by a woman wearing a pair of large sunglasses.
Confused, Zoey looked around before asking,
"You are...?"
"Ah, right."
The woman lowered her glasses slightly, and Zoey's face went rigid as her eyes widened at the same time.
"Y-you..."
"That's not quite important at the moment."
Lifting her sunglasses back up, Liora stepped up to the counter and ordered a couple of drinks. Zoey stared at her back in a daze, struggling to process what was happening. This was Liora Halecrest from the Obsidian Bastion Guild, right? I mean, Zoey had seen her many times before. There was no doubt in her mind that this was the Liora in person.
But why...?
Why was she here?
Why did she suddenly visit her?
